Welcome to forums

Object Reference error occurs if you are passing a Null value

  • Check whether you are passing the value in To correctly as below

  • Check if you are passing a variable and it is null

  • If you are passing arguments then check if you are passing correctly

  • Check if you have duplicates with same variable name

  • Also check the scope of the variable

Hope this helps you

This is the error we recieve while reading mails and getting sender address. “Object reference not set to an instance of an object”. For one specific user in produciton with MS Office 2016, But the same is getting processed in Dev & UAT where MS Office 2010 and 2016 both are installed.

If you are passing any null value then we will get this Object reference error

Could you check by writing the sender address manually and try to do

Hope this helps you

@Srini84 Topic starter wants to READ an email not SEND an email

@anandcse.sd92 Could you please show us how you are trying to retrieve the sender of an email.
It should be something like this “MailMessage.From.Address” or “MailMessage.Sender.Address”

we are trying with MailMessage.From.Address method.
